Abstract - Park and Ride is a traffic management strategy
for the issue of urban traffic congestion. Park and Ride (P&R) system is included into the city's urban environment's transportation infrastructure. P&R is regarded as a crucial component of transportation design since it serves as an intermodal connection point between private automobiles and public transportation. Park-and-ride services (P&R services) are widely used as a component of total demand management in several nations. Despite the difficulty in locating parking spaces in city centers, P&R services located near peripheral public transport stops has shown to be progressive in reducing traffic congestion. The objective of this research is to study the factors influencing the choice rider’s behavior towards using P&R services and review the demand of P&R system in traffic management. This study can provide policy makers with relevant data for future planning and growth of park-and-ride service.

The P&R system is a collection of facilities placed across a city's urban area with the goal of creating a link point or modal interchange to move drivers of private vehicles to a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation, such public transportation. In other words, the limits of both private and public transportation are tightly related to the Park and Ride system. Those who commute everyday by private vehicle to their destination live in places outside the metropolitan core or where there are few or no direct connections to public transportation. The core business district (CBD), where they do daily activities like work or shopping, is typically their objective. Due to the heavy traffic in the urban area, the entire journey by private vehicle from the point of origin to the destination is uncomfortable. Due to the fact that the connection and accessibility of public transportation are much better in urban areas, the P&R system enables modal shift for users of private transportation to switch to the public transportation system. This paper aims to study and review literature works on P&R method in traffic management.
1.INTRODUCTION A well-balanced and environmentally friendly transportation system is greatly influenced by transportation planning. Highway development boosted private vehicles and dominated on public transport in industrialized countries. The environmental consequences, such as noise and exhaust pollution, are escalating as the number of cars increases. Physical interference, obstruction, and jamming are additional consequences of these advancements. One of the main causes of air pollution is the transportation industry, which also consumes a lot of non-renewable resources like petroleum. The increasing growth of automobiles in cities not only worsens environmental conditions but also leads to social problems including bad health and traffic jams. Due to these circumstances, strategies to reduce the number of passenger automobiles entering the city center are sought after and put into practice. The construction of Park and Ride (P&R) parking lots on the outskirts of cities is a common practice. They are made to make it possible for customers to mix private and public modes of transportation while traveling, hence minimising the amount of passenger automobiles entering the city center. P&R parking helps make city centers more easily accessible by transportation.
